Our Innovation Lab

At our site in Värö, in the municipality of Varberg, you’ll find our Innovation Centre. The home to our Innovation Lab. This is where we explore and develop new opportunities, both through our own projects and in collaboration with customers and partners. In the Innovation Lab, we test new ideas and methods in a creative environment. It gives us unique possibilities to develop innovations that don’t yet exist and to improve the products we already offer.

Where ideas take shape

Our innovation lab gives us unique opportunities to test new ideas in a protected environment without interrupting our daily operations and production. We have a strong focus on future solutions, but also an opportunity to quickly test new ideas. Our culture is one of innovation and encouragement to try new things where dialogue and collaboration are an essential part of the development process. The innovation lab plays a significant and vital role in our development work.

Simulation in a lab environment

Having an autonomous innovation lab means we can test new solutions faster and more efficiently, so increasing the pace of creating new processes or products. Since we work on confidential projects, having our own innovation lab is a great advantage. We also have the ability to test on a lab scale before taking an idea further into production; we simulate the processes at the mill in our innovation lab; an important strength in our development process. Optimising existing products and processes is another significant part of what we do throughout Södra, and we also collaborate with our customers to provide them with the  support they need. The lab is a place of high competence and great curiosity.
